Martha Cornog rounds up some promising graphic novels due out in June at Library Journal.

At Blog@Newsarama, Ted Naifeh discusses his newest book, Courtney Tales 2, which continues the backstory of Courtney Crumrin’s Uncle Aloysius.

John Hogan talks to Ben Hatke, the creator of Zita the Spacegirl, at Graphic Novel Reporter.

J.L. Bell looks at comments by artists Randy DuBurke (Yummy: Last Days of a Southside Shorty) and Neil Numberman (Joey Fly, Private Eye) and what they say and don’t say about the process of making their books and working with editors.

Tom Stillwell talks to Josh Elder about the Reading with Pictures initiative to bring comics into the classroom. (Via Gene Luen Yang.)

KC Carlson, who is obviously still a kid at heart, lists seven reasons to love SpongeBob Comics #1 at Comics Worth Reading.

The Gazette has a nice article, with lots of pictures and comments from kids and teens, on the popularity of graphic novels in some Iowa school libraries.
